Film in the Garden: Sunset Boulevard

This grand and bizarre film noir classic tells the tale of Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), an increasingly reclusive silent-screen star, her once-husband and now-butler, and the young screen writer who is consumed by her madness. Presented in conjunction with Arnold Newman: Masterclass, this film examines complex notions of fame and anti-celebrity.

1950, NR, 110 minutes
